A trip down memory lane
15y ago in April 2010 I started as a Sinology professor at Hamburg Uni following a couple of years in naval shipbuilding. In those days we had numerous Russian students (who were on average conscientious and polite) and one day, a Russian Sinology professor dropped by.

I thought this was common knowledge? And in the same vein, no, 英國 does not mean the English are handsome, 法國 does not mean the French are all about laws and 德國 does not mean the Germans are particularly virtuous
It's transliteration in both cases anyway - 美國 is short for 美利堅 or 亞美利加 rather than a comment on the country's beauty one way or another

Cover reveal! Thrilled, after eight years of work, to be publishing my bio of Peter Matthiessen this October with Pantheon Books. I could not have asked for a more gorgeous jacket than this one, designed by Tyler Comrie. The intense yet ambiguous stare! The sunburnt nose! Courier New! Perfection.
